21. Me too

Nov 9

I'm also sad about the fact that I have to cut a lot of people out of my life.

I can't do my in-laws' family gatherings. They are almost all MAGAts and I just can't deal with it.

I'm in Iowa, I'm worried that we won't have a public school anymore for my son who is a sophomore to attend, once they take federal funding from public schools and leave it to the states. Our governor won't spend a penny on public schools.

I'm worried that the orange piece of shit will send the US Military to stand shoulder to shoulder with Putin's military to kill Ukraine.

The one thing that brings me a grim smile is thinking about how all of the assholes who voted for him will be shocked when his terrible policies fuck them over along with the rest of us. I will laugh then and not feel a tiny bit bad about it
